    Surely Sanchez should be putting up his feet - or being wrapped in a huge piece of cotton wool?

    I reckon your right - I also imagine that Wenger gets less hassle by including him on the bench, as I bet Sanchez would be moaning all week if he wasn't involved at all! lol

    ****, that midfield pairing of Arteta and Flamini is slow.

    With those two in midfield we won't be threading intricate passes through the middle, they will need to turn it over quickly to our wide men with Ramsey making runs into the box with giroud, almost like a second striker. Ramsey is going to have to do extra running for the midfield.

    We will need a big game from oxo and or Campbell I think.

    Put it simply, we won't win this game through the midfield. Our wingers crossing it to Giroud is our best chance of winning.

    We are going go get overrun in the middle. I'll be shocked if Flamini stays on the pitch. I'd put a punt on him getting the first yellow/red card.

    If there's one thing you can sometimes count on though, it's Spurs being utter s4ite. 3-1 arsenal.

    Both sets of fans are asking what the **** those team selections are supposed to be! <laugh>
    Oh, well. Should be "interesting", anyway.

    TBH our line up was pretty much expected, even quite strong, he hasnt started any of the academy young players as he has usually done in the league cup.

    I think you are over-estimating Arteta and Flamini.

    Let's see what these players are made of, time to do the talking on the pitch, not of the pitch about how bad our last 2 results have been and how we want to bounce back. Let's do it on the pitch.
